The Yale Grammatical Diversity Project explores the diversity found in varieties of English spoken in North America by documenting the subtle—but systematic—differences in syntax, the study of how phrases and sentences are put together.

In this exercise you will learn how to index your own corpus for use with Xaira.

Indexing is quite a complex process, and we will not try to cover all of the issues involved. The reference specification for the Xaira indexer is available online at the Xaira Tools Windows utility, which we will use in this exercise, also includes a Help file which should be consulted for more detailed information. The Xaira Tools Windows utility also has a ‘wizard’ interface, which can easily cope with the most common varieties of corpus.
